The Civil Peace Service (CPS) is a programme for violence prevention and peacebuilding in crisis and conflict regions worldwide. For many years, CPS has supported civil society organisations in developing non-violent approaches to conflict resolution, strengthening human rights, and accompanying communities affected by trauma. CPS work is rooted in partnership, mutual trust, and long-term commitment. Professionals contribute their expertise, learn from local knowledge and experience, and help strengthen the structures necessary for peaceful coexistence.
Children’s Chance International (CCI Uganda) is committed to empowering marginalised communities, promoting sustainable livelihoods, and preventing violence in Northern Uganda. The organisation works closely with rural communities, traditional leaders, and government stakeholders, with a particular focus on advancing equitable access to land and natural resources for women, youth, and other vulnerable groups.
